Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
The company was sued for breach of contract, but it still deny any wrongdoing.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. but it still deny.
- The option that contains an error is: "but it still deny".
- The subject "it" is singular, so the verb should agree. In the correct sentence, "denies" is the third-person singular form of the verb.
- "Deny" is incorrect because it is the plural or incorrect verb form for the subject "it".
The correct form should be: "The company was sued for breach of contract, but it still denies any wrongdoing."
